high.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Its faint moonlight bathed the pavilions of the Lu Family manor, as if draping them in a silvery veil.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The entire Lu manor was shrouded in darkness and silence, except for one brilliantly lit courtyard within.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under that frosty luminescence, a figure in white dress resembling a celestial moon fairy drifted in, her garments fluttering in the night breeze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Mmm~”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before she could descend, the celestial-like Xiao Xiyue suddenly heard a series of sounds – seemingly aggrieved yet alluring, mournful yet coquettish.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sounds made Xiao Xiyue’s jade-like countenance falter slightly as her heartbeat abruptly quickened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This increased heartbeat caused her Supreme Forgetfulness Technique to rapidly activate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What sounds are these?” Xiao Xiyue’s brow furrowed slightly in bewilderment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Supreme Forgetfulness Technique suppressed these inexplicable emotions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She then followed the sounds, glancing towards the rooms in the courtyard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The shadows reflected in the window allowed her to instantly guess the situation inside, causing her heart to “thump thump thump” once more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She realized her timing was inappropriate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet a sense of palpitation and stimulation arose, as if possessed, causing her to channel her spiritual power into her eyes to peer inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Within the chambers, she saw several of the Lu Family madams she had met earlier that day, along with Lu Changsheng…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In that instant, Xiao Xiyue felt as if struck by lightning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A blush of crimson suddenly flushed her exquisite face, nearly causing her to cry out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This one glance delivered an unprecedented, powerful impact to Xiao Xiyue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The state of mind just calmed by her Supreme Forgetfulness Technique erupted violently in that moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her spiritual roots trembled, the technique nearly failing as her jade-like form slightly softened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At fifteen, she had joined the immortal sect and devoted herself wholeheartedly to cultivation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though aware of certain matters between men and women from books, she was essentially an unblemished white leaf.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had never witnessed such scenes before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Let alone something so stimulating and startling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under the moonlight, Xiao Xiyue’s translucent jade-like skin shimmered against the cold lunar glow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her face, as chaste and pristine as the celestial moon itself, now flushed a rosy hue – a ravishing, breathtaking beauty.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her heart surged with turmoil as she stood dazed and lost.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Could this be…the Trial of Desire I must face?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Xiyue lightly bit her lip as the Supreme Forgetfulness Technique activated, suppressing the surging tides within.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just then, the unprecedented, stimulating sight caused her heartbeat to race and body to soften.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet simultaneously, the Supreme Forgetfulness Technique frantically spun.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was as if the unbreakable, formidable barriers within her had slightly loosened in that moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Allowing her to vaguely realize the nature of her Trial of Desire.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Prior to this, she only knew that she needed to undergo such a trial.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And that the trial manifested through Lu Changsheng – the catalyst for her breakthrough.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the specifics had remained unclear to her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For the word “desire” was far too broad –\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It could refer to familial love, friendship, romance, or intimacy between men and women.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And each of those types of desire branched into many more permutations.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet in this moment, she faintly understood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It referred to the desire between men and women.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The desire encompassing sensual intimacy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And what she needed to do was repress that desire, forget that lust –\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To comprehend desire yet detach from it, experience yet remain indifferent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After realizing the nature of her Trial, Xiao Xiyue’s moonlike luminous eyes wavered uncertainly, flickering with turmoil.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not only was her heart in disarray, but her mind spun in confusion, leaving her dazed and lost.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the same time, within the courtyard chambers, the diligently occupied Lu Changsheng suddenly sensed a feeling of being watched.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His brow furrowed slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though his manor lacked a grand formation for protection, the outer courtyard had patrol guards while the inner courtyard was guarded by the Nine Netherworld Hounds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ordinarily, no top experts could infiltrate undetected in the mortal realm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He glanced outward through the doors and windows.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Immediately spotting a fairylike white figure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Xiao Xiyue?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Changsheng looked at the white figure with some surprise and doubt.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He did not know why this Fairy Xiyue had come so late at night.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instead of cultivating or sleeping, she sought him out to talk?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, seeing it was just Xiao Xiyue watching and not some ill-intentioned person put Lu Changsheng at ease.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet this moment of distraction caused Lu Lanshu to feel a sudden emptiness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her usually dignified and elegant face now flushed with rosy allure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Turning her coy, half-lidded eyes towards her husband, she softly asked, “Husband, what is it?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The three other wives also looked towards Lu Changsheng.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s nothing.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Changsheng saw Xiao Xiyue hastily depart as soon as he glanced outwards, so he did not dwell on it further.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He figured Xiao Xiyue must have had something to discuss with him, which led to this awkward encounter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, he could hardly pause everything right now to go ask about her matter, could he?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Stick that pretty butt out!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>*Smack!*\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Changsheng struck out and continued his passionate endeavors.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Mmm~”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Lanshu arched her back, her dark tresses whipping wildly as a moan escaped her lips.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for Xiao Xiyue, she detected Lu Changsheng’s glance amidst her inner turmoil.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Despite her cultivation of the Supreme Forgetfulness Technique and pure, inexperienced heart, in this situation her heart still palpitated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She fled the courtyard almost as if in retreat, drifting back to her own quarters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Back in her room, the rapidly spinning Supreme Forgetfulness Technique gradually restored the chilly composure to Xiao Xiyue’s exquisite face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet recalling that earlier scene still caused an instinctive, soul-deep shudder, her jade form flushing with feverish softness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So this is my Trial of Desire? No wonder I could never fully grasp the Supreme Forgetfulness Technique.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“My current state is still far too lacking.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Xiyue murmured inwardly, gingerly touching her warm cheek.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She did not understand what had overcome her earlier.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Was she possessed by demons?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Despite realizing what Lu Changsheng was engaged in, she still stole that glimpse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If I could fully control and suppress these emotions, perhaps that would signify my mental state reaching completion, breaking through the illusion.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the Supreme Forgetfulness Technique spun, Xiao Xiyue’s inner turmoil also gradually calmed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet the thought of completely mastering these emotions caused her to sigh lightly, gazing up at the bright moon hanging in the night sky.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For some reason, the earlier scene resurfaced before her eyes once more, causing her newly settled heart to palpitate faintly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Xiyue did not dispel the blushing, scandalous image from her mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instead, she chose to face it directly, even attempting to envision herself in that position.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because for her, this too was a tempering of her mental state.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If she could not master even these base emotions, how could she undergo the ‘Trial of Desire’ and break the illusion?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An indeterminate time passed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eventually, Xiao Xiyue found she could calmly, directly face that scene without the slightest ripple in her heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She directly faced the impactful scene that shook her spiritual roots.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By the time dawn arrived, Xiao Xiyue rose, lightly adjusting her dress and using a cleansing technique on herself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She prepared to seek out Lu Changsheng and lay everything regarding the Trial of Desire on the table, as well as explain last night’s events.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Daoist Lu.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Xiyue found Lu Changsheng in the front courtyard. Seeing him caused faint ripples to stir within her heart due to last night’s happenings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, after a entire night of tempering her mental state, she did not outwardly show any significant change.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Daoist Xiao, let us depart after the morning meal,”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Changsheng calmly said, not mentioning last night’s incident.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, such matters were rather awkward to discuss. It was best to act as if nothing had happened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It is not that. I have something to discuss with Daoist Lu,”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Xiyue softly shook her head, her expression serious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this, Lu Changsheng knew she must have an important matter to address – likely the reason she had sought him out last night.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Changsheng then invited Xiao Xiyue to a private pavilion and asked, “What matter does Daoist Xiao wish to speak about?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Daoist Lu should be able to see that I have undergone an obvious change compared to ten years ago,” Xiao Xiyue said, looking at him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Changsheng nodded, uncertain why she suddenly brought this up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This change is due to the cultivation technique I practice,” Xiao Xiyue continued.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>During these past few days together, experiencing the mortal realm and observing its myriad states, she had been observing Lu Changsheng as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Through her observations, Lu Changsheng had passed her test of sorts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, she decided to reveal the matter of the Trial of Desire.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And to fully explain it, she would need to lay out the background first.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Changsheng inwardly nodded. Just as he had guessed, Xiao Xiyue’s transformation stemmed from cultivating a certain technique.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he still did not understand why she raised this with him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without waiting for him to speak, Xiao Xiyue went on, “The technique I cultivate is called the Supreme Forgetfulness Technique.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“To successfully cultivate it requires tempering the heart amidst the mundane, experiencing its joys and sorrows, in order to comprehend the profundities of ‘Supreme Forgetfulness’.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“My master refined a pill to bypass that step for me, allowing me to grasp this technique.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“However, my mental state remains deficient, unable to break through.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Xiyue gazed at Lu Changsheng as she slowly spoke.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The Supreme Forgetfulness Technique?” Lu Changsheng nodded slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He knew profound techniques often had such demanding requirements, making them immensely difficult to cultivate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even the Seven Stars Great Freedom Sword Technique he practiced had similar requirements for mental state. Luckily his situation was special with the system, allowing him to bypass that aspect.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“As my mental state remained deficient, I gradually realized I needed to undergo the ‘Trial of Desire’ to completely shatter the illusion and perfect my mental state.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The main purpose of my leaving the mountain was to experience this Trial of Desire.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“And upon encountering Daoist Lu, I sensed the catalyst for my breakthrough may lie with you – that the ‘Trial of Desire’ would manifest through you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This is why I previously requested Daoist Lu to guide me.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Xiyue’s expression remained serene and composed as she spoke.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The Trial of Desire,” Lu Changsheng felt a flash of realization upon hearing those words.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had previously only known that Xiao Xiyue sought proximity to him, asking him to guide her, due to the Peach Blossom Gu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he did not understand the specifics.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing Xiao Xiyue’s words, Lu Changsheng suddenly understood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The so-called ‘Trial of Desire’ must refer to experiencing matters of emotion and intimacy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Xiyue had descended from the mountain, prepared to undergo such experiences in order to break through her bottleneck.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But upon encountering Lu Changsheng, the Peach Blossom Gu’s influence caused those emotions to manifest towards him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Xiyue herself sensed this, which is why at Ruyi Pavillion she constantly observed and scrutinized him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She also actively stated her intention to travel with no fixed destination, requesting Lu Changsheng to guide her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her goal was to undergo this Trial of Desire through him, enabling her breakthrough.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now she had laid everything bare, no doubt expecting Lu Changsheng to assist somehow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“As a friend, it is only natural for me to help Daoist Xiao overcome her difficulties.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I do not know how Daoist Xiao intends to undergo this Trial, but if I can provide any aid, I will do so.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since she had spoken so openly, Lu Changsheng did not feel right refusing, responding accordingly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I am also not entirely clear on the specifics of this Trial of Desire myself.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Originally, when by your side Daoist Lu, my mind would be thrown into disarray, automatically activating my technique.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So I wished to request your cooperation in an attempt, but after last night…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Xiyue’s chilly, ethereal beauty akin to a moon fairy spoke with serene purity of her situation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When she first chose to cultivate the Supreme Forgetfulness Technique, she had resolved herself with the mindset of ‘pursuing the Dao until death’.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now that the path lay before her, she would not dither like a young maiden.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ah, this…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing Xiao Xiyue’s words, Lu Changsheng was taken aback.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though he harbored thoughts about Xiao Xiyue, he had suppressed them due to her status and identity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now she was essentially taking the initiative to throw herself at him with this Trial of Desire.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In this situation, if he agreed to “cooperate”, and perhaps even push things further, he might be able to have Xiao Xiyue bear children before returning to the Blue Cloud Sect.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, Lu Changsheng did not actually intend to go that far.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her status as a Core Formation disciple gave him pause.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Regarding this Trial of Desire, I have some thoughts. It may not necessarily require my involvement. Daoist Xiao could perhaps attempt it this way…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After some contemplation, Lu Changsheng spoke tactfully.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For such an effortless opportunity, if it were someone else, he would not refuse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Xiao Xiyue’s status made her an existence he dared not provoke.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Taking that path offered little benefit while risking grave consequences.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So if she could resolve this Trial herself, owing him a favor, that would be for the best.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Is this really viable?” Xiao Xiyue fell silent for a moment after hearing Lu Changsheng’s words.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Evidently, her heart was not as calm as outward appearances suggested.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, her Supreme Forgetfulness Technique lost efficacy in Lu Changsheng’s presence, unable to achieve true single-minded focus.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Daoist Xiao can try,”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Changsheng handed her a meditation cushion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their plans to travel to the city were also adjusted accordingly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Within her room, Xiao Xiyue sat serenely on the pink cushion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, her beautiful brow furrowed slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, faint crimson tinged her pure, chilly countenance, with an alluring blush.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The rosy hue visibly blossomed, rapidly suffusing her exquisite face with a scarlet flush. Her red lips parted as her breathing grew audibly strained.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After several breaths, the rosy blush spread from her cheeks to her earlobes, causing her adorable translucent ears to redden completely. Her slender, swan-like neck also gradually flushed red.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Beneath her moonwhite dress, her perfect, jade-like form began to tremble faintly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The beaded white shoes encasing her dainty, rounded feet also quivered restlessly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A moment later, a muffled celestial moan escaped the fairy’s throat, causing her brows to knit in anguish. She then looked dazed, lips parted, body crumpling to the floor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hah!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hah!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hah!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Xiyue’s dazed eyes gazed at the eaves as she carefully observed the changes in her mental state.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In that overwhelming, dream-like instant, she realized her current state of mind bore similarities to when she witnessed the impactful scene that shook her spiritual roots last night.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“To truly break through the illusion, I must be able to control these kinds of emotions.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Xiyue murmured inwardly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She could feel that this method did provide some assistance for her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A sense of inexplicable ease arose within her heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The vexing distracting thoughts obstructing her breakthrough seemed to have lessened considerably.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was as if the barriers had loosened slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But…it’s still not enough.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Supreme Forgetfulness Technique spun as Xiao Xiyue’s serene, chilly eyes murmured to herself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her jade-like arms pushed her up as she lightly adjusted her dress. Then Xiao Xiyue exited the room, once more seeking out Lu Changsheng.\u003C\u002Fp>",2611,"2026-05-28T18:58:20.749Z","2026-06-01T04:28:45.397Z",1,"novelbin.me","54e80611ef28eb4553568d4b47accbb5bf6dd42f41ed6432e9cecaaaf132fcce","starting-from-a-son-in-law-to-build-an-long-last-chapter-136","starting-from-a-son-in-law-to-build-an-long-last-chapter-134",2199,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fstarting-from-a-son-in-law-to-build-an-long-last-cover.jpg"]
